Perricone MD Summer Survival Kit Giveaway

Remember how I promised a great giveaway on Friday? Well, I'm delivering. I'm sure most of you have heard about Dr. Nicholas Perricone, the dermatologist and author who has been featured on shows from Oprah to Good Morning America, and has pioneered the Inflammation Theory of Aging. (I looked it up, the theory is that cellular inflammation is the underlying cause of wrinkles and breakouts. Dr. Perricone's skincare products work to counteract this inflammation.) Excited yet? Well, you should be (at least I am!), because you've got the chance to get your mitts on not one but three of Dr. Perricone's groundbreaking products.

Summer Survival Kit ($125 Value)

So what does the kit include? Glad you asked...

Citrus Facial Wash

A non-drying gentle skin cleanser that removes all impurities including makeup. It provides anti-aging benefits with DMAE and Vitamin C Ester to help improve tone, clarity and texture, unveiling skin's natural radiance.

High Potency Amine Complex Face Lift

A powerful, dermatological-grade face treatment combining Dr. Perricone's most effective anti-aging ingredients in higher levels than present in any Perricone MD product to deliver a lifted, tightened, defined, contoured and radiant appearance. This product contains 16% more DMAE and 700% more Vitamin C Ester than the original Amine Complex Face Lift, to help with smoothness and minimizing deep lines, wrinkles and discoloration. The Amine Face Lift also contains Pycnogenol, which brightens skin's appearance and addresses loss of elasticity.

No Foundation Foundation

This product is an advanced anti-aging translucent foundation, which contains DMAE and Alpha Lipoic Acid. Created to keep skin looking dewy and flawless, this unique formula delivers many benefits of a traditional foundation without the heavy matte finish, which emphasizes the tiniest skin imperfections. No Foundation Foundation is a multi-purpose product that provides natural translucent coverage, corrects skin undertones, instantly smooths fine lines and boosts skin's natural moisture throughout the day, all the while delivering antioxidant benefits.

Beautiful Brides: Carolina Marcialis and Princess Victoria

Two things in life I always want to know: what someone named their new baby and what a bride looks like on her wedding day. I posted the other day about Coco Rocha's "I do" look and, as it happens to wedding season, I've found that there are several other celeb brides I can happily photo stalk. Due to this I think you are witnessing the organic birth of a blog semi-series here on Sogni e Sorrisi: Beautiful Brides. If you're at all bored or opposed to the idea please let me know, if not we can eagerly await the wedding dress of Nicole Richie together. In the meantime let's entertain ourselves with two different looks from weekend brides.

Italian soccer star Antonio Cassano married his longtime girlfriend Carolina Marcialis, a water polo player, in Portofino on Saturday. While the Italian national team will surely be a little less bright from a lack of Cassano's playmaking abilities he will be enjoying his honeymoon with his new bride.

And on to our second Saturday bride...

Super cute and wearing a huge crown Princess Victoria of Sweden married her beau Daniel Westling in Stockholm on Saturday. The bride is the future Queen of Sweden while the groom owns a chain of gyms--he met Victoria when he was training her. The dress was very simple and understated except for the 16-foot train and that crown, which I'm sure must have some historical signifiance, but just makes me marvel at the fact that she can keep herself upright.
